Epitafios (2004) s02e09 Episode Script

Do you want to know
if I still have my gift?
Do you still have it?
I don't know.
- He left.
- I am glad for you.
It was either him or me.
Let's have that cup of coffee.
Yes.
- Do you know a Diaz guy?
- Do you know him too?
- He came looking for me.
- Welcome to my life.
Pablo told us what happened.
Now I want your side
of the story.
What's this?
Life insurance, Diaz.
Who else knows?
Do you want to know that?
Kill me!
Give me another chance.
I haven't pulled the trigger,
that's your chance.
Believe me.
This was urgent.
Yes, but be careful.
If they find out, they'd kill me.
- Should I drop by?
- Yes. I'll call you.
You're making progress.
The killer is a copycat.
He imitates others, but those
others have original ideas.
This is a sick maniac,
a human copy machine.
I will destroy you!
I will gut you!
And then I will spit your guts
on your face! You hear me?
You son of a bitch!
Let's see if you still believe
I am a copycat!
What kind of an animal
is Emilio Ronda to do this?
- We're not sure it's him.
- Then who is it?
That's the key to the puzzle.
Who?
- Hi.
- Don't you sleep?
What would you like to drink?
Whatever you have.
- I thought you'd drop by earlier.
- Yes, I thought so too.
Is something wrong?
Do you have the money?
Yes, of course.
Have I ever missed a payment?
Then what's up? You show up
at 1:00 a.m. Asking for money.
I have it here.
Yes. I am sorry.
Are you leaving town?
No. It's just work.
Want to talk about it?
I already said I was sorry.
How did you find out?
About what?
The corpses you found
at Ronda's place.
How did you find them?
I don't know. I suppose they
I don't want suppositions.
Tell me how they found them.
What's wrong with you?
Nothing.
I supposed you knew
how they found the corpses.
You suppose wrong. Generally,
I don't get those details, unless
All right!
Forgive me.
I am really sorry.
Forget it.
- You know you can trust me.
- Yes.
Tell me what's up with you.
I am not going to do it.
Please! I will not do it!
What?
I feel my head is about
to break into pieces.
Can I get you something?
No, I just need to put
everything in order.
Why don't you lay down
for a while?
Yes.
Yes.
I am going to lay down
for a moment.
It's Maria.
I broke my key
and can't open my door.
- Come in.
- I am sorry it's so late.
It's all right.
You are soaking wet and cold.
There you go.
There you go.
This is better.
What happened?
That's not necessary.
That's not necessary.
- Feeling better?
- Yes.
I am making some tea.
You can stay if you want to.
Yes. Maybe I will stay.
Get some rest.
Sit down.
Wait.
Sit down!
I won't
say a thing. I swear it.
Really? Should I believe you?
This means nothing. It is just
a boy's picture projection.
Nobody will notice it.
And why did you notice it?
That doesn't prove anything.
Your face in a picture
doesn't prove you are a murderer.
Please, don't kill me.
Why would I kill you
if I am not the murderer?
I don't know
What is it that you don't know?
You don't know
or you're lying to me?
Please.
Please what?
Are you lying to me?
No. We know each other
for a long time. Please.
That's the main problem.
I don't want to die!
Maybe it won't be necessary.
Now you will make a phone call.
Be calm, all right?
Try to calm yourself.
I want you calmed.
Let me see you calmed.
Breath.
Breath!
At the time of death, this woman
was between 35 and 40 years old.
The round penetrated
her forehead.
It was a long.38 round.
Just like the gun
we found at Ronda's.
- Did Ballistics test it?
- Yes. It's Ronda's gun.
What else?
Can you see that gap
between hips and pelvis?
She had a natural childbirth.
We know her age range,
that she was a mother,
and the murder weapon
So what?
Our lab determined that based on
how worn-out was her clothing,
they are about 20 years old.
- It's more than you thought.
- Right.
Members of the forensic team
can identify the remaining bodies.
They have achieved
amazing things in previous cases.
All right
but the woman
and the kid come first.
Are you all right?
Yes. Why?
Let's talk about the other bodies.
Son of a bitch!
And very efficient, too.
I want your opinion.
It's a time bomb.
Then you have to deactivate it.
That would be a mistake.
It will go off immediately.
Are you saying I have to sleep
with a bomb in my ass?
We need time
to know how it works
and then, safely diffuse it.
All right.
You take care of that.
Also, take care of Pablo.
Excuse me, but
that won't be necessary.
That kid is not dangerous.
But he knows
about that report, right?
That makes him a risk
I am not willing to take.
That would be one problem
out of her face, and good for us.
You take care of that personally.
I don't wan't more people
involved in this.
We can continue later.
One more card.
All right.
Was that an "o"?
Very good!
One out of six!
I knew you could do it.
It's a matter of time
and just keep on working.
- I want to rest for some time.
- It's all right.
Excuse me.
See you later.
Get some rest.
These are the three bodies
we found behind the wall.
This is an unidentified male
of about 40 years old
with multiple fractures
in the back of his skull.
Cause of death:
Encephalic mass detachment.
How about that stain
on the bandage?
Blood.
- The victim's?
- Yes.
That's interesting.
If he was hit in the back
of his head,
why does he have blood
in the front bandage?
His eyes were poked out.
There are fissures
in his eyes sockets.
It's like his eyes were removed
with a knife. Let's continue.
This is an unidentified male
between 20 and 25 years old.
His shoulder blade was pierced
with a knife, a rib is broken,
and his lung is perforated.
- Why were they tied up?
- It beats me!
Let's continue.
This is an unidentified female
of about 70 years old.
Next slide.
She has wire around her neck.
A tourniquet was applied.
Killed by asphyxia.
What's in the cups?
Cabernet wine and Lorazepam.
As per the Lab?
As per my nose
and the label in the bottle.
Lorazepam.
Got them to sleep,
then killed them.
Why?
So he could work
in a more relaxed way.
Or they all knew each other well.
It wasn't just
a casual relationship.
Why?
Because he blindfolded them,
and then killed them
from behind.
He didn't want them
to see him doing it.
It looks like they knew
each other,
they sat down to eat
but he later betrayed them.
What a childish way of thinking!
"If they don't see what I am doing,
this is not happening".
What else?
All the deaths were different.
Why?
Why didn't he follow
a pattern, like a serial killer?
What a son of a bitch!
He got them to sleep,
he tied them up
Yes, but he used different
weapons for each one.
It's like he was testing
different ways to kill.
That's what it is.
The first thing to do is to identify
all these people.
- They are working on it.
- When can we have something?
I don't know.
I will go to check up on them.
Yes.
- I will go see Suncho.
- He didn't come to work, Renzo.
What?
He called last night
and said he is feeling sick.
How about his work?
- Call him home.
- Of course.
We first determine
the subject's age, then race,
bone articulations and height
will give us their weight,
then witnesses will provide us
with their body's thickness.
I never imagined that our face
shape and cranium were related.
Differences are not so evident
at first sight.
How accurate
can these projections be?
Highly accurate. It all depends
on the bones' conditions.
When can we have an update?
We'll work on the boy.
We should have his face soon.
That would be good.
We need it as soon as possible.
You will have it.
Thanks.
Well he can't be that sick.
Maybe he went to the drugstore.
Nonsense!
He's very irresponsible.
He's not irresponsible.
He loves his work. You know that.
Yes, maybe.
We are making progress, Renzo.
Yes.
Relax.
I'm going home.
It seems like Ronda is looking for
different ways to kill.
But what does Ronda
need to test?
When it comes to death,
he has seen everything.
Why does he have to test it?
What do you want to show?
I can't make any sense
out of it.
Different ways to kill.
Maybe it wasn't a rehearsal.
It was
A performance!
He blindfolded them
and got them to sleep.
He wanted it to be painless.
Different ways to kill.
It's like a lesson in anatomy.
It's like he was
in an dissecting room
showing somebody
how to kill.
All different ways to kill.
Who was that for?
That's what it is. It's like a lesson
for somebody else:
This is how
you strangle somebody
this is how
you shoot somebody
this is how you stab somebody
this is how you do it
Who was that for?
Good evening.
Police. I need to ask you
some questions.
- About what?
- Your upstairs neighbors.
- What's up?
- Can I come in?
Yes, come in.
Yes, this is my neighbor.
I see him in the elevator why?
Relax.
Renzo Marquez. Homicide.
I am sorry, detective.
I didn't recognize you.
No problem. What's up?
There's a missing person case.
Who reported it? His wife?
No. His mother
and people from work.
- When?
- A week ago.
- What did his wife say?
- "He just left".
How did they get along?
I don't know.
Maybe you heard something.
They are your neighbors, right?
I didn't hear anything.
What do you think?
I think he's dead.
Why? Maybe he just left.
With no car? It's in the parking lot
with a tank full of gas.
That's different. I don't know.
His wife is the only one
who's not worry about it.
Isn't that weird?
I don't know.
Maybe she wanted that
to happen.
Maybe.
I won't bother you any more.
Thanks, detective.
Bye.
You all reached the same
conclusion: This is a lesson.
Yes. Like a lesson
from a father to his son.
Who are all these dead people?
Mariano is working on that
with the lab, sir
Any news?
We'll have
the boy's face tomorrow.
Mazzoni.
- What's up, sir?
- More problems.
Here they are.
It is Suncho.
- That guy looks like shit.
- What's so funny?
Nothing.
I have two more rolls
- Bring them over.
- They are
Bring them over!
Will there be others?
Why Suncho?
It feels like something personal
against our police unit.
It's Suncho.
Let's go to his house.
Who will pay for this?
What is your problem?
Take it easy. I will pay.
Asshole!
Marina, it was Suncho.
We are going to his house.
Over here.
Over here.
It is carbide, right?
I don't get it.
He's repeating the same methods
he used before.
Why?
Why Suncho?
Get him out of there
as soon as possible.
Any prints?
Everything was wiped off.
Marina, it's me.
I want to show you some
test results from Velazquez.
I will drop by your place
later today. Take care!
- Hi.
- Hello. Can I come in?
Yes, sure.
- Sugar?
- No, thanks.
- What's up?
- Where's your husband, Maria?
- He left.
- Where to?
I don't know. He just left
and didn't say where to.
He just left?
But he can come back.
Aren't you afraid?
Yes, of course.
We slept together.
I didn't notice any fears.
What do you mean by that?
You seem to be very sure
he is not coming back.
I don't know what happened
to that son of a bitch,
but if it is what I think it is,
then tell me.
I have nothing to tell you.
Nothing to tell me?
Thanks for the coffee.
If there's something you want
to say, tell me.
Well, all right then.
How's the investigation?
Thanks.
Slower than we expected.
That son of a bitch
is calling the shots.
Tell me about Velazquez.
He's not getting better as fast
as we would like him to.
Medically speaking, he's fine
and his surgery was a success.
His clairvoyance seems to be
permanently affected.
We administered these tests
on him.
Nothing extraordinary there.
These are normal parameters.
He wrote this?
Yes.
What is up?
This is our colleague.
We found him dead today. Suncho.
- When did he write that?
- Today at noon.
Shit!
How did he kill him?
By repeating the method
in his three previous murders.
Those of Clure, Picardi
and Marcos.
Why him?
I don't know.
My only guess is that
Suncho saw the killer's face.
He identified him.
He solved the case.
Wait!
There's nothing here.
He was working on a photo.
Maybe he copied it
to a portable drive and deleted it.
Why?
Photographs require
a lot of hard disk space.
If I were working at home,
I'd copy it to a portable drive
and then reload it from there.
Why?
Photos require a lot of hard disk
space. It makes no sense.
It's okay.
I'll go back to my stuff.
Lagos?
- Here it is. I hope it's useful.
- Me too.
Before the weekend,
I'll have all the faces.
Thank you.
I couldn't sleep all night.
I thought poor Suncho!
He faced that animal
right at home.
Poor thing!
This drives me crazy.
I was wondering
Many times I wondered
last night
how did he know Suncho
was working on his picture?
I think he was always
close to Suncho.
And close to us!
That's why he knew about
the imaging process.
Step by step.
How this lunatic
was related to Suncho?
Who's this animal?
Let's see how you look like
before you die.
Renzo.
I want to show you something.
We have to talk.
Out of my way!
Let me see the picture.
What happened?
This is the digital composition
of the kid.
- It's the same guy.
- That's what I think.
It can't be.
Marina.
I can't talk to you right now.
Please don't hang up.
You were right.
They tried to kill me.
What?
Diaz followed me
and tried to kill me.
If they wanted to, you'd be dead
by now. It's a warning.
He tried to suffocate me.
I fought back.
Marina, I am lost and he's going
to find me.
Help me, please.
Pablo, you got into this.
You wanted to ruin my life,
you got it.
You are on your own.
Marina, please!
I am your brother.
Asshole!
- I won't say a thing.
- I know.
